Queue for iPhone 3G has begun at Apple Store, Fifth Ave
iPhone 3G lines start at the Apple Cube... one week early - Engadget
One week, and they're already lining up! I'm all for lines, but I think this is being slightly excessive.
Discuss!

I was about to flame you with the dates being wrong on the article or something.
Then my heart sunk when I saw it was true.
That's obscene. I get the night before, I even get 24 hours before.
But a WEEK?

Yeah, but you weren't planning on getting 6 billion signatures for some political bipartisan something.

I was at the TLife store in chadstone yesterday and one of the service staff said that they were getting only 15 iphones for the opening.. I hope she was wrong as she also went on to show no knowledge of telstras current iphone pricing released the week before.

look, anyone with those kinds of sideburns and the junky black-beaded necklace who claims they'll break a Guiness Book of Records without an Official Guiness Book of Record's rep actually at the scene, AND who wants to sign up 6 billion people on a petition ... heck, he can have the first iPhone 3G for all i care!
decryption ... hang your head in shame ... you got NOTHING on this guy!  |

Stupid Americans...
I hope he's happy with his "Mobile Office" when he gets it and realises he dosen't have a job anymore.
Also anyone even contemplating making a 6 month old baby sleep on the steets for a week is retarded and should be arrested...
Dumb Hippie.

It seems like a stunt to me...maybe a advertising company is paying them or something and they will use that later on when the interviews start coming.

Someone should call Children's Services on them. You want to be an idiot, fine. Don't subject a baby to it.

They could all be a little smelly on the 11th...
It sounds more like a shitty publicity stunt than genuine Apple fans.
I hope they are just fans and are keen to use this occasion for some attention, not freaks with another motive.
That would be a little bit of a let down for me...
EDIT: Just watched the video and the bloke did talk up the iPhone, Maybe all the other crap about world records and petitions is just to help justify themselves and their eagerness to queue so early.

It's summer over there right now so temperature wouldn't be an issue.
